Fresh from the Lab -- Screen Capture Plug-in

A couple users have asked for screenCaptureToJPG functionality for Windows. Here is a beta version. Tell me what you think.

Capture Screen Plug-in

To use it do the following:

1) Put ScreenCapture.mfx (that's the plug-in) into mProjector's "Extensions" folder. The path will be something like:
C:\Program Files\ScreenTime Media\mProjector v2 build df\Extensions

2) Add the following ActionScript to your swf:
mScreenCapture.captureScreenToJPEG(filename, x, y, width, height);

If you pass "CLIPBOARD" as the filename it will save the jpg to the clipboard. The x, y, width, height params are optional. If you pass only the filename param you will get a grab of the entire primary monitor.

3) Compile it with the "mScreenCapture" plug-in checked in mProjector.

We've wrapped the MS CIMage lib to do this plug-in. Need anything else from CImage? Got budget ;-)

PS1 - I expect we'll change the name of the class to mImage when we release it.
PS2 - I think this version only works on the primary monitor.

Hello

I tried this plugin with "dj" version and it works fine. But i'm not abble to use it with "cw" version (and i absolutely need to work with this one). The plugin doesn't appear in the window.

Is ther a way to install it ?

Thanks

Sorry it won't work with cw. We changed the plug-in scheme for Flash 8. Why do you need cw? B.
